(2).Footnotes:Provenance:Misumi Collection.Sold in these Rooms, 10 November 2015, lot 6.A Royal Collection.Exhibited and Published:Nezu Museum, Shibata Zeshin no shikko, urushi-e, kaiga (Shibata Zeshin: From Lacquer Arts to Painting), exh. cat., Tokyo, 2012, cat. no.94.In 1875, Zeshin paid a visit to Nara where he was able to examine items stored in the Shosoin, the eighth-century Imperial treasure house in the precincts of the Todaiji Temple (Joe Earle and Tadaomi Goke, Meiji no Takara, Treasures of Imperial Japan, Masterpieces by Shibata Zeshin [in the Khalili Collection], London, Kibo Foundation, 1996, p.46, quoting Umezawa Ryushin's 1927 biography of Zeshin). Objects from the Shosoin, until then almost inaccessible to anyone outside the imperial court, subsequently played an increasing influential role in Japanese art from early in the Meiji era. Zeshin was no exception to this trend and it is likely that the mirrors depicted on this inro were loosely modelled on originals stored in the Shosoin, either Chinese Tang-dynasty examples or Japanese copies of around the same date. He lavished typically meticulous craftsmanship both on the mirrors and on the dense background pattern of mon (crests). Takao Yo notes that although chado-nuri, used here for the mirrors, is listed as a separate technique in Sawaguchi Goichi's monumental study of Japanese lacquer, Nihon shikko no kenkyu (1933), in Zeshin's time it would simply have been regarded as a variant of seido-nuri. Chado-nuri differs from seido-nuri in that it contains bengara (red iron oxide) in addition to orpiment (arsenic sulphide), producing an effect that, as Takao comments, is ideally suited to imitating the surface of antique bronze (Takao Yo, 'Shibata Zeshin no shikko giho: Kawari-nuri giho o chushin ni (Shibata Zeshin's Lacquer Techniques, Centred on the Kawarinuri Technique)', Ishikawa-ken Wajima Shitsugei Bijutsukan kiyo (Bulletin of the Wajima Museum of Lacquer), 6, 2011, figs.14, 15).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

(6).Footnotes:The four characters incorporated in the lid design are from a well-known poem that formed the literary theme for earlier lacquer boxes including one (now lost) designed by Honami Koetsu (1558-1637) and a copy made by Ogata Korin (1658–1716)—from whom the Rinpa style takes it name—in the Seikado Foundation, Tokyo, with an inscription by Korin saying that he saw the original box in Koetsu's home in Takagamine, Kyoto.The poem goes as follows, with elements of the design supplying some of the nouns (kishi [shore] and nami [wave]) in lieu of written words: Suminoe no / kishi ni yoru nami / yoru sae ya / yume no kayoiji / hitome yoguramu (At Suminoe / the waves break upon the shore / even in the night / Like them will you soon draw near / along the pathway of dreams?).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
